As a third year medical student, your blog manages to instill within me a sense of dread mixed with the hope I already have for my future, if this is the sort of thing I have to look forward to...
I actually did that once, though it wasn't a Sunday. The office had scheduled a dentist appointment for my daughter (in another city, 20 minutes away) and sent the reminder card the week before, but the doc was out of town at a conference that entire week. I didn't know that, so I called the exchange to find out what was wrong. He called me back immediately and felt really bad.
OMG this is so true! I am always telling people that society is going downhill because so many people dont care and dont get mad about bad service etc!
